hey guys,
Im new to C and having a bit of problems inserting into a recursively defined BST. it seems to work ok inserting 3 or 4 items but any more than that and it starts to make duplicates and do wierd things, i have a feeling it could be a very simple obvious mistake but I just cannot find it. I have included the insertion code and how the tree is defined below:
Code:
struct bstnode{
char *key;
bst left;
bst right;
};
bst bst_insert(bst b, char *s){
if( b == NULL ){
bst result = emalloc(sizeof * result);
result->key = emalloc((strlen(s) + 1) * sizeof s[0]);
strcpy(result->key, s);
return result;
} else{
if( strcmp(b->key, s) == 0 ){
return b;
} else if( strcmp(b->key, s) < 0){
b->right = bst_insert(b->right, s);
} else if( strcmp(b->key, s) > 0){
b->left = bst_insert(b->left, s);
}
}
}
Thanks in advance for the help!!
